History is not a science, and has little to expect from sciences; it does not explain, and has no method. Better still, history, about which much has been said for two centuries, does not exist.—Paul Veyne, Writing History1Science can work only on what is supposed to repeat itself—that is to say, on what is withdrawn, by hypothesis, from the action of real time. Anything that is ... irreversible in the successive moments of a history eludes science.—Henri Bergson, Creative Evolution2
